  • Sounds like a corrupt input file. Commented Oct 3, 2012 at 2:31
  • @dale Could you please include the output I asked you for in the comment on your original question? That would help us troubleshoot your issue.

  • Also, UtahJarhead, the OP seems to want an MP4 result file from an MKV input file. He does not have an m4v file which is why your command doesn't work. Also, dale used the wrong syntax, specifying his existing file as output and giving inputfile.m4v as input, which obviously does not exist.

  • mp4 is a codec, not a container. mkv is a container, not a codec. That's like saying they want to make a garage out of a Cadillac. What codec is the input .mkv file because that may make a difference. Commented Oct 3, 2012 at 15:35
